虚幻的离自己很远的世界: 手机

手机带来永远都不能原谅的时代之殇：虚幻、沉默、疏远... Photographer Shows What Our Lives Would Be Like Without Smartphones BY : ALEX WATT | 14/10/15 |   8.1kShares       Eric Pickersgill It’s no secret that technology is pretty much taking over our lives. Every day we wake up and the first thing we do is check our smartphone. Then we stare at Twitter for the whole of the train journey to work. Glance at Facebook in the office. Snapchat our mates when we get home… Eric Pickersgill But is all this technology having a damaging effect on us? Sure, we can keep in touch with people who live on the other side of the world easier than ever, but are we losing track with those who are actually sat right next to us? That’s what photographer Eric Pickersgill has set out to explore in his eerie new ‘Removed’ photo series. Eric Pickersgill To make it evidently clear how reliant we’ve all become on our phones and tablets, he took them out of the images entirely. ADVERTISING                 It makes for a disconcerting scene – black and white images of disinterested children sat back-to-back ignoring their parents, friends disconnected from each other, couples in bed staring in opposite directions, a just married couple ignoring one another completely. Eric Pickersgill Eric, a professional photographer from New York, got the idea for the series while sitting in a café. The family sat opposite him were barely speaking, each fixated on their screens. He explained: I spent the mornings working at this little café and one morning I noticed this family eating breakfast together where they were all sharing the same physical space however they were engaging with people and content elsewhere. Eric Pickersgill Family sitting next to me at Illium café in Troy, NY is so disconnected from one another. Not much talking. Father and two daughters have their own phones out. Mom doesn’t have one or chooses to leave it put away. She stares out the window, sad and alone in the company of her closest family. Dad looks up every so often to announce some obscure piece of info he found online. Twice he goes on about a large fish that was caught. No one replies. I am saddened by the use of technology for interaction in exchange for not interacting. This has never happened before and I doubt we have scratched the surface of the social impact of this new experience. Mom has her phone out now. Eric Pickersgill Eric was unable to get the image of the family out of his head, and he soon spotted similar scenes of people stuck on their phones – at supermarkets, on the streets, and even in his own bed at home as he and his wife began messing with their phones back-to-back before going to sleep. Based on these observations, and to address the massive role technology now plays in our lives, Eric decided to remove smartphones and tablets from the pictures. Asking people to stay in the same position, he would carefully remove smartphones, tablets and other gadgets from their hands, so as to immortalise the moment perfectly. And it makes for a striking statement. Eric Pickersgill He added: Despite the obvious benefits that these advances in technology have contributed to society, the social and physical implications are slowly revealing themselves. I do think you need to be aware of how long you are spending on your device and be deliberate about it. If using it in public is your intention and you don’t mind alienating other people then by all means have at it. I just personally need the reminder to put it down because it is an addiction. The affirmation of others that we get with these things feels good and we go back for it more and more. Eric Pickersgill So, step away from the phone! Well, after you’ve checked out the full series and more of Eric’s work here. 作者：Eric Pickersgill ｜ 10/16/2015 9:28:03 AM ｜ 浏览：279 ｜ 评论：0

Eric Pickersgill是一个美国的摄影师，有一天他在纽约和一个咖啡厅休息的时候，看到了一个让他难以释怀的画面。原本愉快的一家四口的下午茶时光，却被爸爸和孩子们玩手机破坏了。Eric说，他看到那一家四口虽然坐在一起，但是却几乎没有交流。爸爸和两个孩子都低头玩着手机，时不时的太头讲两句在网上看到的内容。而坐在旁边的妈妈，却选择不看手机，她沉默的把头转向窗外，眼神里充满了失落。这一个画面深深的触动了Eric。他拍下了一组照片，然后把人们手上的手机都P掉。于是一组照片就这样诞生了。 各自看手机的情侣 没有交流的家庭 沉默的母女 即使是新婚的夫妻都不享受在一起的时光 沉迷在自己游戏里的兄弟 朋友见面 节假烧烤 闺密之间 老伴 家庭聚会 情侣之间 约会度假屋 旅游休闲 忽然觉得很可悲——亲密的人之间疏远，人人都在关注那个虚幻的，离自己很远的世界。这也许就是手机给这个时代带来的，永远都不能原谅的时代之殇。
